That's exactly where we're coming from in trying to obtain 9A number. What would be the easiest way to achieve this?

we live in Victoria, Kingston council area. Decided to build a semi-detached dwelling at the rear (i.e. second unit). Our mortgage broker said we should ask for the new dwelling number be 9A, not 2/9, because this way the property will cost more. How can we ensure to get the 'right'...

We have built a two-storey house. Everything is according to the plan and the obscured windows were placed at a first floor to give the neighbours some privacy. Now, when the building is complete, some town planner comes back with request to change the first floor windows from 1.70 obscure...

I need some reality check on installing a power connection. How much would you usually pay for get it done? The block is standard 600 sq m and the connection is for the newly built rear unit. We got quoted 1,800 on it. Does this sound reasonable or should we shop around some more?

yes, they agreed on price reduction in writing and has instructed their solicitor accordingly. We did not try to push them into poverty; the house has significant structural faults and we only demanded price reduced by the sum required by underpinning contractors. In fact, I doubt it will...

this is the response we received from our conveyancer I really intend to go through with it when I find out what exactly was violated by showing people through "under contract" property, and get the agent's license suspended if this is what should be done in this case. No one, and I mean...

hello soon-to-be-billionaires, we have put an offer on a house and it has been accepted by vendor. Then, we tried to negotiate a price reduction based on really, really bad building report. On Sunday, the vendor agreed to give us a discount; however, they have changed their minds today and...
